ANoTHEe CoMpnrMENr 10 DR. Cur

RY.
The Nashville Americas contains
the following which will be very
pleasing to the many friends of the
distinguished gentleman named in
this sectors
The trustees OF the State Normal
School have in mind q purpose
which may have far reaching eff
fects. DIR. J. L. M. Curry, the for.
mer broad minded agent Of the Pea
body funI5 now U. S. Minister to
Spain, is being solicited at round
salary to accept the position Of
chancellor Of the school at Nash
vile, vacated by Chancellor Stearns.
1t is well known that DR.. Curry
holds the educational interesfs Of
Nashville in close regard, and ess
pecially the Normal Institute, and
that he was largely instru mental in
bringing about the action of the
Tenr eseee Leg isl ture appropriating
literally and opporsuneIy to this
inetitution. The position is one in
which DR.. Curry's great breadth Of
mind, uncommon strength OF char.
acter, and extensive mental culture.
would find not only a congenial but
most promising field. Tho position
is a life~term Office. With this rip
ened intellect at his head, the atten-
tionof the trustees of the Peabody
fund at large would not, could not,
fail to be directed towards Nash
vile as the only place in the South
merlting the munificent endow-
ment Of 100000 which, by the
terms of Mr.. Peabody's viii, goes,
after now some six or seven years
remaining, to found and endow a
university at some point in the
South.
Nashville is already prominently
before the county an a point pos"
sessing greater educational facilities
than any Of her southern sister
cities. Add the permanent PIES
enee of this gentleman Of national
repute, and what alternative is left
the trustees having the disposal of
this vast sum, but to recognize the
nnanswerahle claims Of Nashville.
and confer upon her THIS nlgl NIun-

infant. The attention of the authorities
wa, called to it, and Drs. Millard and
Hill ard went down and examined into
matters. 1t was discovered to be white

ofense. He found several very strong
points yesterday evening, and thinks he

TEE MONTH OF April.

TIE MONTH OF APRIL.
April is an cventful month, and has
been much mixed up in history. Grant
was born in April. 1t was in the month
of April that Sumter was fired upon and
the war opened. 1t was in the month of
April that Grant commenced active
operations in the Wilderness in Virginia.
The great battle of Shiloh was fought in
the month of April. 1t twas in April that
Sherman began his march through
Georgia. Lee surrendered. to Grant at
Appomattox in the month of April.
Abraham Lincoln, President of the Uni
ted States, was assassinated by John
Wilkes Booth on the night of the l4th oi
April The war of the rebellion began
in April and closed in April. 1t is indeed
an eveutful month in American history
And it was during this month that the
Asheville gas works, and incandesceni
electric light, and the Graham Cotton
Factory and many other important
permanent enterprises become fixed
purposes or are entered up; and, it wal
the anniversary of the second birthday
of the DAILY CITIZEN. 1t is grea
month. sure enough.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE AND THE Truth
PREVAIL.
The following explains itself:
l was present at the interview between
Capt. ]. M. Gudger and Capt. ]. S. Adams,
in which Capt Gudger distinctly and
emphatically stated that he was DEM
ocrat, that his first allegiance was to the
Democratic party-that if the party met
in convention, nominated ticket, that
he would 60 into the convention, there
express his preference-abide the result
and work for the ticket, and that his
friends would do so-aS far as he could
influence them We all expressed almir,
alton for Capt. Gudger's patriotic course
as man and Democrat.

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CoRREsroNDENT.)

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CoRREsroNDENT.)
WAsHINGToN, MAY 23, 1887.
The soldier boys are all here, and
Washington is full of martial music and
beat of drums. The National Drill
opened this morning, but the contests
will not begin until tomorrow. Today
was devoted to some lormalities such
as receiving the troops, naming the
camp, and this afternoon there was a
dress parade by all the companies.-
For the past few days large crowds of
people have congregated at the railway
stations to see and welcome the soldiers
as they arrive. The first to make their
appearance were the Louisiana Rifles, of
New Orleans, who marched quietly up
Pennsylvania avenue to Willard's Ho-
tel and afterwards to camp which they
entered as silently as spies The Vlcks-
burg Southrons followed followed them
making quite noise with their silver
comets, and the Louisiana men recelv.
ed their Mississippi neighbors with a
hearty cheer which was duly rccipro,
Gated.
The city Of tents around the base OF
the Washington Monument is quite pic,
turesi iuc, and there is also ladies camp
Just north Of the parade grounds
Large parties Of ladies accompanied
some of the military organizations here
and some Of them preferred to 90 into
camp to stopping at the hotels and
boarding houses. Some preferred it
for the novelty of the experience and
others because Of the economic features
Of camp life.
Quite apnsation occurred when it
Vas reported that there would be no
